106 XSI - Taped My Car Up With Black and Yellow Hazard Tape... Pics Page 11.
Hey everyone
Swapped my saxo 1.1 plus £100 for a 106 XSi 1.6 the other weekend
only bad points are the paint is faded and flaking
so far its had a,filter, and smoked lights.
Future mods include
*Pug Sport exhaust system
*4-2-1 Mani
*Forced Induction kit
*Morettes
*Rapid or VTS alloys
Wat ya think?
I over took a lambo!

I like them, they sit very high at the back, no plans on lowering it?

My friend had an identical one. Loved that car, it was pretty quick and was a right laugh. Got to drive it loads.
He did exactly what you are doing to yours! Sounded mint but he then decided to crash it into a wall. Bad times.

consider, getting a vt axle, just for the discs and probably alot easier to lower, my last xsi was a mare for the rear, it needed lots and lots of man power to get the bars to shift.

Just a little update
brought some standard back lights, fog lights, and clear side repeaters for £20 of a kiddy from 106owners.co.uk
i missed the postman so had to wait an extra day to go collect it from the post office.
got it today and here are the results
[dont have a after pic of the fog lights because it started to rain]
i also got bored so dropped the spare out and decided to spray it lol yea i did use normal house tape instead of masking tape because i couldnt find any.
Side Repeater Before
Side Repeater Afteri think its the wrong way around lol
Backlights Before
Backlights After
Fog lights Before
What happens when i find spray paint and im bored lol
